Collingham Village

Collingham Village is still thought of in two parts: North Collingham and South Collingham. All Saints' Church lies in the North, and St John the Baptist in the South. In the past, Collingham boasted two parishes and two vicarages (or rather a Vicarage in the North, and a Rectory in the South). Now the parish acts as one, showing lots of cooperation, although separate loyalties still persist.

Looking across All Saints churchyard towards the tower, in North Collingham. A wonderful display of Spring blossom.

More Spring blossom looking towards the cenotaph in All Saints churchyard.

All Saints Church, Collingham, in its Summer Livery. The green leaved trees and the shadows of early evening are quite dramatic, aren't they?

Paths on the North-west side of All Saints in dappled shade, looking towards the back gate (and its flood markers) on Low Street. The fallen leaves, reminiscent of Autumn, were in fact the result of particularly fierce July gales.

Low Street, Collingham. Beautiful Hydrangeas with All Saints (with some visitors, and a Warden's car) in the background.

Remember the floods in the year 2000? Is that how they got to Church? All Saints' and a 'visitor's' boat at the lychgate.

Oh! that's who it belongs to? Imagine a boat on Low Street, with Trent Lane in the background. Photo taken from All Saints' church wall.

And the lads thoroughly enjoyed it. Low Street cycling antics in the Floods 2000AD. It wasn't all fun though, some houses were flooded and animals stranded. But the sense of occasion was certainly captured by the number of sightseers in the church-yard!

An early Spring view along Low Street, South Collingham. "Are those sticky buds? What sort of tree is that?"

Looking across The Green, South Collingham. The grass has been left uncut to allow the daffodil bulbs to develop.

What about an Autumn Stroll through the Village?
